Fieuzal produces wines that capture memories and can be enjoyed at any time. With 30 years of experience, winemaker Stephen Carrier believes great wines are excellent throughout their entire lifespan, rather than having a specific ideal drinking window. The winery views winemaking as an exciting journey from vine planting through decades of bottle aging, with each stage contributing to keeping the art of winemaking vibrant.

Château de Fieuzal's wines embody the unique energy and complexity of their terroir, offering an intense yet precise balance that captivates the senses. The red wine, a complex blend of multiple grape varieties, authentically expresses the vineyard's diversity. Aged for an average of 12 months in French Oak barrels, it demonstrates elegance and confident expressiveness throughout its lifetime.

The 2015 vintage, born from ideal weather conditions, presents an intense sanguine-red color with violet tints. Its complex nose combines red and black fruit notes, including blackberry, blackcurrant, and black cherry. The wine showcases expressive and intense spicy aromas with a touch of graphite, characteristic of the Graves terroir, reflecting the perfect flowering and gentle ripening of small, concentrated berries.

Blackberry and plums sit amid violets, earthy notes and gentle, hazelnut oak. The palate delivers attractively smooth, supple tannins that carry long flavors of fresh dark cherries. Try from 2020.

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 De Fieuzal is scented of lovely ripe plums and crushed red currants with touches of forest floor and bay leaves. Medium-bodied, firm and grainy with great freshness cutting through the earthy layers, it finishes long.

The 2015 De Fieuzal is powerful and a bit burly but certainly not lacking in personality. Smoke, grilled herbs, tobacco, cedar, dried cherry and smoke add nuance to this attractive, midweight wine. All things considered, the 2015 shows quite well today. Drink it over the next few years.
